Glenn---do you have what our average S/SS combo car count was?
The way I read it, we need AT LEAST 36 cars to have $1,000 to win...vs our $205 weekend entry ($25 gate fee included Sat-Sun).

The 2-day event is something long over-due in my opinion.

What I don't get on BIR's website it states 1 time trial, and 1 qualifying run prior to each event. Why not make them BOTH Q runs?

Hi Travis
As for payout it's quite simple. the more cars that race more $$$ for payout that you can win.
If everybody would just show up AND race, the payout is VERY good in comparison to a divisional race or a national event.


If we have 32 cars it will be
$1000 to win Sat.
AND
$1000 TO WIN Sun.
(2 SEPARATE RACES 2 SEPARATE PAYOUTS.)
1 Saturday and 1 Sunday.

Entry fee is $90.00 per day
and a $25 Sat.-Sun. general adm.

So you'd actually be racing for $2000 to win VS your $205 entry / gate fee)
AND HAVE 2 CHANCES TO WIN IT!
NOT JUST $1000

Now with 2 day events you double your chances to win $$$ for the cost of 1 tow.
It seems to make economical sense to me.

The time trial / qualifying statement is simply a misprint.
Both runs WILL BE QUALIFYING PASSES!!!

I will have this addressed ASAP in order to eliminate confusion & put wondering minds at rest.

Thank You
